Cristiano Ronaldo is rated doubtful for the Champions League final after limping out of the draw with Real Valladolid with a suspected hamstring injury, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Real were stunned when Humberto Osorio leveled for the La Liga strugglers with five minutes remaining after Sergio Ramos had opened the scoring in the 35th minute.

The result leaves Real's hopes of landing the La Liga title hanging by thread, although head coach Carlo Ancelotti played down fears Ronaldo would miss the rest of the season and the UEFA showpiece in Lisbon.

The Telegraph quotes Ancelotti as saying:

I don't think Cristiano's problem is a big thing.

But Pepe didn't end the game in good shape and we will see with [Angel] Di Maria, although that shouldn't be too serious either.

Manchester City moved to within a point of claiming the Premier League title with a 4-0 win over Aston Villa on Wednesday night.

The Etihad Stadium club will clinch a second championship in three seasons with a point against West Ham United on Sunday.

But City striker Edin Dzeko, who scored twice against Villa, insists there will be no repeat of the late drama of 2012, when a last-gasp Sergio Aguero winner against QPR claimed the title, as Dan Ripley of the Daily Mail reported.

Dzeko is quoted as saying:

We did our job today, now we have to rest and take it more than seriously last game.

We will do our best. I want to say thanks to our fans and I hope they are as good as today on Sunday.

We have experience from two years ago when everyone thought we would win against QPR.

Lionel Messi Calls on Barcelona to Sign Sergio Aguero from Manchester City

Barcelona star Lionel Messi has called on the Camp Nou club to target Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero in the summer, reports Jonny Fordham of The Sun (subscription required).

Argentina international Messi is currently in discussions with the La Liga giants over a new contract, but wants to see his compatriot and close friend added to the squad next season, claims the report.

Fordham also claims that Chelsea defender David Luiz remains on Barcelona's radar for a summer transfer.

The Black Cats looked destined for the drop throughout the season, but a run of 13 points from their last five Premier League games, including wins at Chelsea and Manchester United, have seen them steer clear of the bottom three.

And the win over West Bromwich Albion effectively relegated Norwich City, whose goal difference is far worse than the Baggies.

Poyet is quoted as saying:

I said a few times we needed a miracle and I’m going to start believing in them now. It’s one of the best days of my life.

It will be remembered forever. Sunderland did it. It is possible. Managers will tell players in the future, even with seven points adrift, you can do it.

The miracle happened. You need time in any job. We worked and worked. We needed it to click and got it. Same team five times in a row.

No one could stop me celebrating on the pitch today, not to show off though.

Can we have another season like this? No. I don’t want a heart attack. Or any more grey hair.
